Where does everyone mount their phone?

Now that we're all being safe and using hands-free calling/texting/gps, where is everyone mounting their phones? I'm looking on Amazon but dont want nothing too cheap. Also I'm not sure where to mount, I'm leaning more toward the windshield or one of the vents, or if I could rig something up with the sunglasses holder that would be cool but dont know how useful. Thanks

Probably wouldn't be safe to rig something up to the visor holder since glancing up there can impact your safety.

I have my gps holder rigged up to the central vent. I held it in place with a couple of zip ties. Been going strong for a couple years now no issues. Can't tell that it's held using zip ties either if you're careful when setting everything up. And for power I ran the cable from the center console arm rest (where the 2nd electrical socket is located), under the cup holder and ran it up the under-side of the center console up to the gps mount. Works great!

I have an AppRadio so I can control Pandora, Waze and other stuff from the 7" touchscreen with the phone connected to the stereo.

Use to have this setup. ProClip makes several just for our vehicle. They look really nice and work great.

I have a 6 speed so I have that retractable cover for the cup holders...

I just close it & lay it on there. Obviously when I'm doing some spirited driving through turns I remove it before hand.

Thanks for the input guys but my new phone is too big to fit in slot above radio. I used to put it imagine the cup holder but I don't like looking down. Got this from Amazon, I can post the link later.
